I saw a recipe on the cover of a cooking magazine that inspired this dish. I get inspired by dishes I see and never seem to be able to follow a recipe completely....it's more fun that way! Here you have a spicy filling that is topped with a soft, sweet corn bread that helps tune down the heat.
This is one of those recipes that are great for a lazy Sunday. I have a few secret flavor weapons that are sure to please!
This is now one of my brother's favorite sandwiches. He actually referred to them as "Fronch Deep" sandwiches. I have a feeling that I will be getting a few more requests for it in the future. I normally don't like making just a simple sandwich,which is why I like this recipe; it is a simple recipe, but I feel that I put a little more effort into it because I am making the au jus (I also make the rolls, but beside the point).
My mom is a firm believer of "The simpler, the better." I know she'll be proud of this one and probably has even made something like it. I think my husband was impressed with this recipe because it has only a handful of ingredients, but BIG flavors. It is a classic Russian dish and can be surprisingly light. Also called Beef Stroganov, it traditionally is made up of sautéed pieces of beef served in a sour cream sauce. I lightened it up by using a lean cut of meat and fat-free sour cream. This is easy, filling, and tasty. Surprise yourself and your guests with this meal ;D
I love making dishes that I can cook for long periods of time! This is a dish that is very rich; I don't just mean the taste, beef short ribs can run a pretty decent price at the grocery store. That being said, I prepared this recipe around a smaller amount of short ribs, but it can easily be doubled or tripled to accommodate for a larger crowd. Short ribs are a part of the whole spare rib. Spare ribs are taken from the belly side of the cattle's rib cage and when the upper tips of the ribs are cut off, they become
short ribs. You can definitely invest in buying a whole beef spare and preparing the short ribs yourself, but it will cost you around $20-$25. It's best to buy these on sale because you have to remember that you are also paying for the weight of the beef bone that is included in the meat.
After a night of vegetables, my husband asked specifically for a meat dish; and he got it! When I was a bartender I remember a blackening seasoning that we used to put on some of our burgers and it inspired me. Blackening is a style of cooking that is traditionally used in Cajun cuisine on foods such as fish and chicken; the meat is coated in a mix of herbs and spices, then put onto a super hot pan or grill. Be sure to use your exhaust fans for this one! It's going to get hot in the kitchen!
